Subject: RE: [Geoserver-users] Disable / alter Geoserver web admin interface
for external users
Hi Chris,
In that scenario my first thought would be of having multiple instances of
GeoServer - a development one (which has the web interface and you can
administer), and then a production one which has the web-interface disabled.
This removes the risk of mistakes in administering affecting production users.
Alternately, you could also indeed do IIS authentication - just be sure to only
require authentication for requests to the /web/ path. This won't impact any
access to your data as they come through other paths.
If you *do* want (some) other people to be able to administer the system, but
only specific layers, then Jim's solution would be the best. If you want to
have everything (for you and other admins) or nothing (for everyone else), then
the IIS option will probably be simplest.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan
Yes I did notice that but do need access to it within my internal network so I
can carry out admin work, I also thought about adding authentication in Windows
IIS but probably wouldn’t be a good approach as it might affect access to the
data layers themselves.
Will have a look at the information provided by Jim in the previous post.

Hi Chris,
Have you tried the two options at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/production/config.html#disable-the-geoserver-web-administration-interface
They will allow you to disable the web admin interface entirely I believe.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi
I am wondering if there is a way to either disable or limit the amount of
information displayed when external users are accessing my Geoserver web
interface?
They currently are able to view my layers and other settings; I noticed that on
some other public geoserver web areas the options on the left hand side have
been removed, how am I able to do this?
Thanks
